Dive Into Learning
Week of: 12-13-21
Welcome to December HGSE Families!
We are looking forward to fun activities this week! However, we are also busy wrapping up first semester with MAP testing, DRA testing, and classroom tasks prior to the break. Report cards will be issued when we return in January! We want our students to finish strong this first semester and feel success after a tough start to the school year! We can do this together!
We have several events planned this week as wells as Monday and Tuesday of next week. PTO sponsors a party this Friday for students. We are asking for students to submit $1-$2 dollars to support efforts in providing students with a fun party! Monday is a full day while Tuesday is a half day with dismissal at 10:30. We wish everyone a wonderful break and a Happy New Year!
Together in Education,
